If you want to redo part of your drawing, tap the eraser, then tap the area that you want to erase. If you accidentally erase something, tap the Undo icon. You can also customize the thickness of your lines and the opacity of colors with the pen, pencil, and marker.

After you draw something, you can move it around. Tap the Lasso tool, trace a circle around the drawing that you want to move, then drag it where you want it.
